^^ lol I find it amusing (not directed at you but our answers) because that is the exact reason why I wouldn't go with the RE Super. Too close to stock.

I vote Ganador.

Edit- Just remember there are vision problems with using Ganador mirrors on a LHD car (I don't know about the the RE's or Knightsports).


Also, Do you have any more pics of this FD:

Ganador mirror PNP electric motors actually work reliably, and you do not have to cut anything, well except for you arms as you make frivilous attempts to install them.

They are out of print and everyone wants them, in Japan they are going for about $500-900 depending on condition.

Even in a RHD car, I find they are a downgrade due to the smaller size and not extending out as much.

Knightsport V1 look like this:



This picture you posted were RE V1s.

I agree RE Super Mirrors are too close to stock, and although I like a 'stock-ish' part in most cases, not here.

The only downside of Ganadors is that they are basically a universal product adapted to the FD. So you will see them on S13s, S14s, etc, etc. The Knightsport V1 is made for the FD and nothing else.

All that said, my current build I'm using Ganadors - but have had Knightsport V1s in the past and loved them.
